    Mint user - which laptop / HP problem

    Well, I'll guess I'll try with replacement battery. However, there's one more thing regarding that - when looking around web genuine batteries usually declares voltage of 11.1V (sometimes 10.8V), and replacement batteries 10.8V. Is it safe to buy 10.8V battery?

    Linux Mint/Ubuntu freezes on boot (not always)

    First of all: thank you for helping. I'm still not convinced my problems are connected to MBR or even GRUB2, because older versions of Mint and also Windows 7 boots up nicely, and never versions on Mint do not. However, I obviously don't know what is the real problem and I sure am willing to try...

    Linux Mint/Ubuntu freezes on boot (not always)

    But I'm not sure it has anything to do with GRUB2. As I said, after choosing Linux Mint on GRUB2 menu, computer starts booting and then freezes after a while, but in different stages. So, I believe GRUB2 "do his thing" correctly (except that I'm maybe missing some parameter - I tried few...

    Hello, everyone. I just wanted to let you know (if someone is interested) that I decided to go with "Transcend PDU3". I purchased the card, installed it and for now, it seems to me that it works fine :). Currently I only have one USB 3.0 memory stick (32 GB AData S102), and managed to copy...

    Which USB 3.0 controller

    Well, while "looking around the web" for info I found many post describing problem (of course, it's always like that), so I was wandering if anyone has "first hand" experience. However, as I said, I ordered Transcend PDU3 and I hope it'll work. After installation I'll post in here if it works...
